If the lights are pulled out the indcator panel.  It's a good bet that's where they go.  Look are the wiring diagram and compare the stripes on the wires to the diagram.

Good luck.

Those are the bulbs for the light panel between the handlebars.  "High Beam", Turn Signal", "Oil Pressure" and "Neutral".  They mount from underneath.
